| Alabama Congressman Art Davis becomes Republican |
| 2012-05-30 |
| Artur Davis was first elected to Congress from Alabama in 2002. The Harvard Law School grad was quickly tapped as a rising star among Democrats. He became a Senior Whip for the caucus, co-chair the New Democrat Coalition and even headed up the Southern region for the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee. His eight years in Congress showed him to be a thoughtful, independent and energetic member. Yesterday, he announced he is now a Republican. |

| #2 Also, I think he may be gay. Did he finally figure out he was being used or something? |

| #1 I've met him. He's an interesting fellow. He was one of the first Obama supporters in the South which ticketed off the Clinton folks big time. He then gave one of the seconding speeches for Obama at the 2008 convention. He may have actually believed all that 'I'm a unifier' stuff that Obama was putting out in 2007 and 2008. I don't know what happened to him but since about mid 2009 he has become more conservative. He sometimes writes opinion for National Review. Also, I think he may be gay. |
